The silence in the corner didn't affect the whole floor, from time to time there were still people passing through the corridor, they might look this way, but when they saw two gentlemen standing at the window with cigarettes in their hands, they gave up paying attention.
Whenever there was a meeting, there would always be some gentlemen who would smoke their cigarettes before the meeting started, and although there was no explicit regulation that people should refrain from talking indoors, on the whole people tried their best to avoid such a situation.
On the one hand, people are not used to their bodies smelling bad, and the smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol will always be a disgusting smell, and on the other hand, it sets off their upbringing to do so.
At that moment Lynch shook his head at the window, "I don't have anything in hand that needs a loan at the moment, you know, someone invested in me.
Mark gave him a bank cashier's check that he had already cashed and deposited into his account, $800,000 is not a small amount, enough to alarm some gossips inside the bank who like to hear and tell stories, Joe Gleeman of course knew about it and was even more aware of some of the little tidbits behind it.
Originally, the investors claimed that they could value Lynch's Star Trading Corporation at $70 million in order to speculate on their shares in advance, which is a common situation in business.
The valuation is always an "estimate", the next negotiation and a number of other practices will make this "valuation" quickly shrink, and then at a relatively reasonable price to enter, but this is a small range of information, involving all the interests, they would not They will not disclose it.
Externally, they will also claim that in the next three to five years, the market value of the company will certainly reach 70 million dollars, and they can spend a few million dollars to buy the shares of the hand, immediately can be doubled several times.
Sometimes the means of business operation is so simple that they can realize an income of over a hundred million dollars with just one mouth.
Of course, even if this price was lowered, at least a few million could still be sold, Lynch had nearly 1.7 million raised from Joe Gleeman's side before, together with the 800,000 dollars given to him by Mark, as well as the several million that was about to be accounted for, and the 2 million dollar piece of land, he had actually accomplished a huge change in a short period of time.
Is this a miracle?
No, this can only be called amazing, but it cannot be called a miracle, the financial stock market in these two years is the miracle.
Two people soon finished smoking, Joe Gleeman in the last time implicitly reminded him, do not acquire any industry in the near future has to do with the industry, is considered his and Lynch this period of time since the cooperation of a gift.
Once the financial market collapse, all industries related to wealth will be devastated, which includes the physical industry.
Acquiring the physical industry now was tantamount to paying some people in advance, so it would be better to wait a little longer, and after these people went bankrupt, they would be able to buy these expensive things at a cheaper price.
The two returned to the venue, each to their own social circle, Lynch's return made some people surround him again, this is a very realistic world, whoever has money is the brightest star.
Now that everyone knew that Lynch had money in his hands, and cash at that, there were naturally some speculators, some opportunists circling around him, and of course some legitimate businessmen.
"Mr. Lynch, I understand your club is recruiting female athletes?" said a middle-aged gentleman in his mid-forties, a little chubby but not greasy, rather fresh and clean.
The decent clothes on his body were spotless, and he exuded a faint fruity-woody aroma, an aroma that was not that of perfume.
In the real upper class, no matter how much the mainstream packaged perfume, perfume was also something that only female cousins used to hide their genetics, or at least that was how it was perceived these days.
But they also need some fragrance to cover the excessive body odor caused by "meat eaters," so they need aromatherapy.
Generally speaking, these people, except for the rich and famous, would have a special aromatherapy room where the butler would have the maid perfume the clothes they needed to wear to the banquet after their itinerary was finalized.
Some expensive spices would be lit, then smothered, smothered, and then the lid would be opened so that there would be no obvious smell of smoke and fire, just a faint aroma.
This kind of aroma doesn't actually last too long, but a cocktail party or a dinner party is absolutely enough - by the second half of the social event, under the paralysis of alcohol, cigarettes, Solid Color, the sense of taste is pretty much lost, and people can't smell what the aroma stinks of.
At least so far, many of the upper class, especially those descendants of large families with inheritance, are still using such methods, and as for the future ..., they may like the convenience of perfume, but at least for now, they don t think so.
The gentleman seemed interested in Lynch s recruitment of female athletes, "Do we have any sports that women can start?" No one around him made a sound when he asked, this was clearly a man of some stature.
"You are ...," Lynch did not recognize this gentleman, but that did not prevent someone from getting together to introduce them and get to know each other.
A young man of thirty-five or six years of age stood out at the right time, "This Mr. Reynolds is the Baron of Qazirir's ordained ...", the guy's face was so proud of him that Lynch almost thought he was a nobleman as well.
Of course, Lynch still showed his "surprise" very "appropriately", although he didn't have the slightest idea what the hell Qazirir was, let alone if a baron was a valuable title in this country.
"Mr. Baron ...", he shook Mr. Baron's hand and then talked about the topic he was interested in, "As a young man, I am actually a supporter of the women's rights movement, but my stance may not be the same as most feminists.
"I believe that women should not only have a status that is not weaker than that of men, but they should also take on more responsibilities, only then will people and society as a whole face up to women's status and rights instead of just favoring them."
"Just rights without obligations, that can't be exchanged for real respect for women!"
If it weren't for the fact that he was thinking about these things in his stomach, Lynch was definitely wearing some kind of light effect of his own at this moment, and quite a few of the female companions of the attendees looked at him, and Baron Reynolds nodded his head frequently, very much agreeing with Lynch's words.
He pointed out the most important part of Lynch's words, "Power and duty, you're absolutely right, I'm also a supporter of the feminist movement, do you mean you're going to recruit some female athletes into the professional arena?
The topic immediately drew more attention, some people came in with glasses of wine, they were curious.
Lynch, on the other hand, shook his head, "As much as I hate to admit it, but on the other hand, I have to admit that women's bodies and physical qualities are obviously weaker than men's in strong confrontational sports, I don't have any bias ...".
The surrounding people also nodded their heads, this is normal and true, this is like the frequent domestic violence behavior in society, often it is the husband who beats his wife, almost never heard of a wife beating her husband.
"That's why I'm planning to start some professionalized sports for women, just like for men, and I already have the support of some local people."
Baron Reynolds couldn't help but ask, "You mean women's rugby?"
Lynch nodded, "Including women's rugby."
This caused Baron Reynolds to show a delighted face, Lynch was a little confused as to what this man was so excited about, he even asked enthusiastically, "Can I join?"
"Yes, but first you need a professional club and a group of relatively professional athletes!" Since he wanted to start this and had the feminist organization behind him, Lynch didn't want to make it too superficial, it had to be formalized.
In fact, the State Feminist Organization and the Baylor Federation Feminist Organization Headquarters had also recently discussed this matter, and they thought that this was a huge step forward in the history of the feminist movement, and before Lynch proposed professional sports for women, they actually hadn't noticed that all professional sports in the Baylor Federation were actually dominated by men, and this was simply a blatant insult and discrimination against women!
Thanks to Lynch, they discovered this shortcoming, and the other party is still willing to initiate the women's professional sports program, so it is obvious that Mr. Lynch is definitely a staunch protector of women's rights, and they intend to award Lynch with an Association Medal in recognition of his exemplary role in the women's rights movement.
Baron Reynolds rightfully nodded his head, "It must be me, I'll prepare these, then I should ..."
Before the two men finished speaking, someone announced in a low voice to the surrounding people, "The Mayor is here," Baron Reynolds tilted his head slightly, a secretary hidden behind him took out a business card and handed it to Lynch, who also exchanged a business card.
The two men turned their attention to the mayor after agreeing to find another time to discuss these matters, while also returning to their seats.
The mayor looked haggard, there was no way not to, unemployment had risen another percentage point and the Ristoan Group had begun to shut down production, which meant that another two to three percent of the population had lost their jobs and Sabine's unemployment rate would most likely reach the frightening figure of twenty percent in the fourth quarter.
When that happens, the order of the entire city could collapse, and last night the governor even informed the mayors of all the cities in a teleconference that in the event of a riot, police forces and Federation militia must be sent immediately to suppress it, and that the state's Department of Armed Forces is always ready to send maneuverable military forces to rush to the aid of all the cities at any time, any place, and any time.
And all this because yesterday afternoon a demonstration took place in a city of another state, but it soon turned into a riot.
The demonstrators, who had lost their jobs and were starving, suddenly began to vandalize and loot, and the situation got so out of control that the President's Cabinet and the Ministry of Defense issued a joint circular requesting that attention be paid to maintaining local security and stability, and that the military could be mobilized if necessary.
So by this time the mayor was even more haggard, he began to feel that his election as mayor was not a good thing!
